I think I'm finally getting more accustomed to listening to and comprehending spoken Spanish from a variety of places within Spain and other Spanish speaking countries, largely thanks to Kwiziq along with listening to podcasts and watching a lot of films on Netflix. It is the thing I struggle with most. Having lived for many years in the Canary Islands, I tend to better understand the Spanish spoken there, which I believe has a more Latin American or Caribbean style(?). My late dad was a Madrileño, and I don't do too badly with the Spanish speakers from that área in Spain either.
I'm grateful to this gentleman that recites a lot of the exercises for us, as he really forces me to listen carefully. I'm getting used to his way of speaking now thankfully! With this exercise I also learnt two new verbs: 'menospreciar'= to underestimate or to undervalue and from this verb 'preciar'= to appreciate.
Thanks to all at Kwiziq for all your hard work. Estoy muy agradecida.
Saludos :)
